The Brazilian club will purchase 5 percent of the forward’s rights for 200,000 dollars, but will have a purchase obligation.
The forward Diego Tarzia will leave Independiente and continue his career at Vitória in Brazil, which will make a notable purchase of 5% of his rights, plus an obligation to acquire a larger percentage in the future, given that Rojo has transferred six players abroad and has no more available slots.
After being mentioned as a possible signing for San Lorenzo, the 22-year-old winger, who was not a priority for Gustavo Quinteros, will ultimately continue his career in Brazil’s Serie A. The team did not qualify for any international tournaments.
The deal will proceed as follows: the club from Bahia will buy 5% for 200,000 dollars for a year and a half, but will have a purchase obligation of 2.6 million to acquire the remaining 75 percent. If they do not execute this, Rojo will return the 5% and the player will have to return to Avellaneda. In addition, Independiente would keep 20 percent of the youngster’s rights.
Tarzia, who played 23 minutes in the draw against Newell’s last matchday in Rosario, has played a total of 64 official matches wearing the Rojo shirt across all competitions, with five goals and four assists.
Another reason that led the management to try to part ways with the player immediately is that he had a contract until December 2027. At the same time, he had a release clause of 20 million euros, a figure that at the time reflected the club’s valuation, but which Tarzia was unable to maintain over time.
